Item 1975/1 - Three related items on mints and moneyers

3 items, paper

Three related items on mints and moneyers:
(a) 'Coins in E.H.C. but not in lists', typescript (original or carbon-copy), two pages on two folios, unattributed and undated but with the latest reference to a lot that appeared in Glendining's sale of the Brettell collection on 18 June 1975. The author is unknown. The first page gives an alphabetical list of mints in the left column, a description of the coin-type and/or name of the moneyer sometimes with additional notes in the middle column, and the relevant reference in the right column. There are several manuscript additions, annotations, corrections and queries on this page. The second page has notes, deletions and added types. There are two copies of this item.
(b) 'Corrections to charts of mints, types & moneyers' names (from V. Smart in A-S England, 1975), manuscript (copy), single page, unattributed and undated, but with the 1975 reference, which provides the terminus post quem, giving page numbers and the respective addition or correction. Author unknown.
(c) two excerpts from a longer, evidently monograph-length typescript (copies), unattributed and undated. The first excerpt, consisting in numbered pages 305-306, has one page headed 'Appendices 1 and 2', with a key to the symbols used, and the other headed 'Additions from Private Collections', giving several abbreviations. One of these notes indicates that the initials H.H.K., which almost certainly stand for Horace Herbert King, refer to the "author's collection". This strongly suggests that Horace Herbert King is the author while further supporting the dating to about 1975, since Horace Herbert King died in 1976. The second excerpt, which consists in numbered pages 487-550, has the first page headed 'Appendix 2a. Chronological order of coin-types for each moneyer for each mint', with a brief explanation about the use of the ensuing list. The listing itself covers the remaining pages (488-550) and gives the names of moneyers attested for each mint with the examples on which their signature appears, indicated by type using symbols to denote the disposition of the respective specimen or corpus in which it is catalogued.
